The New Plague Lyrics
"You can come the easy way or the hard way, I don't care"
"I'd like to teach you a little nursery rhyme"
1 2 3 4!
[Verse 1]
I'm just a person, and I've got the new plague
I'm wondering how I got this way
I drank some whiskey, I went and got laid
Now I'm a person, just a person with AIDS
[Chorus]
He's just a person with AIDS
(I got what?)
[Verse 2]
If you treat me like any old dude
I'll try real hard not to go bleed on you
Cause I'm a person, and I know what to do
So stick around cause I'm gonna get screwed, yeah
[Chorus]
He's just a person with AIDS
He's just a person with AIDS (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
He's just a person with AIDS
He's just a person with AIDS (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Ooh, I'm dyin'!
[Verse 3]
I'm just a person, and you're a person like me
Am I the victim of a conspiracy?
I drank some whiskey, I did some cocaine
Now I'm a person in pain, pain, pain!
Person
Person
Person
Person
He's just a person
He's just a person
He's just a person
He's just a person
[Chorus]
He's just a person with AIDS (I got AIDS!)
He's just a person with AIDS (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
He's just a person with AIDS (The New Plague!)
AIDS
I've got
You've got
We've got
AIDS
